Many years back, a buddy and I restored a 57 Belair. He wanted it factory Tropical Turquois. Thing is we saw so many so called original tropical turquois cars and non of the colors were the same. seems there were about a dozen assembly plants and they all painted their cars with the same paint codes but no doubt the color shades were definitely different. We ended finding a TT color that he liked and that is what it got painted with.
